Frequently asked questions

Why does WhatsApp ruin my photo quality?

WhatsApp re-compresses sent images aggressively. Pre-compressing to around 100KB and sending as a document avoids double compression artifacts.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser; your images never leave your device.

Is this tool free?

Yes — completely free, no account, no watermark.
